The PSP homebrew scene revolved around the Laughing Man TIFF exploit this week, and while there have been incidents of the exploit not working for some users, a general feeling of rejoicing was definitely in the air. Let's take a look back at what transpired.

Homebrew developer Ooblik is back with another update to his  XBMC controller for the PSP. The new update now lets you control password protected webservers.

How would you like to be able to control your iTunes via your multifaceted PlayStation Portable? Sounds swell, huh?

Here's the thing: LAN.ST forum member ooblik was tinkering with his PlayStation Portable (PSP) one day and noticed that whenever he goes to camera options, the power goes out through the two little slots on either side of the handheld's USB-mini port.

He's now wondering if plugin could be written for custom firmwares that will allow to turn on and turn off the power if a certain button combination is pressed. This, you see, will be helpful because it will allow LED mods for the PSP to turn on and off without having to deal with the Wi-Fi switch.

QJ.Net Forum member califrag was good enough to entertain the thought, and he ended up creating the plugin. This became the homebrew creation known as "PSP Software Switch for Modded PSPs".

According to califrag, the preferred method to use this plugin is to flash it into "flash0:vshnodule" and then launch it from the "certificate utility" icon. In case you don't want to run it from there, what you can do is rename the file to the following before flashing:

• update_plugin.prx - replace network update
• premo_plugin.prx - replace remote play
• lftv_plugin.prx - replace location free player

As always, do not use this program if you are not well-versed with flashing anything to your PSP. califrag suggests creating backups for all files before replacing them, and make sure that you have a good USB connection to prevent disk or file corruption.
